Vacation spots you recommend?

My top three travel locations are Galapagos Islands (Ecuador), Egypt and Tanzania for the nature and history. It is incredible how much all these places have to offer.

Seen any good concerts? Entertainment events lately?

I enjoy live performances be it music or theatre and have been to Coldplay concert several times. I recently watched and highly recommend the Broadway show “To Kill A Mocking Bird” as well as New York Philharmonic Orchestra, which is a free concert during summer in Central Park.
